2. 1.1. ontstaansgeschiedenis van effectpedaal
1960 : the Maestro Fuzz Tone
a device that would allow a guitar to
replicate the sounds of brass or
woodwind instruments like the
saxophone, tuba or violin.
despite Gibson's marketing strategy,
thrill-hungry teens had other plans for
the fuzztone sound.
throughout the 1960's, the effect was
used on a surprisingly large number of
country records, most of which came
from Nashville.

3. 1.2. effectpioniers (spelers en bouwers)
the fuzztone sound was created by the
legendary Nashville session picker Grady
Martin.
in the summer of 1960, while recording the
tune Don't Worry, a malfunctioning channel on
the mixing board caused Martin's six string
bass to be recorded with an insane amount of
distortion, a sound that would come to be
called fuzztone.
Glen Snoddy, the session engineer, saved the
malfunctioning channel on the mixing board
and brought it out upon request.
